Definitions
- the present invention is concerned with controlled release compositions for oral administration comprising galantamine; and with processes of preparing such controlled release compositions.
- Galantamine (I) a tertiary alkaloid, has been isolated from the bulbs of the Caucasian snowdrops Galanthus woronowi (Proskumina, N. F. and Yakoleva, A. P. 1952, Alkaloids of Galanthus woronowi. II. Isolation of a new alkaloid. (In Russian.) Zh. Obschchei Khim. (J. Gen. Chem.) 22, 1899–1902). It has also been isolated from the common snowdrop Galanthus nivalis (Boit, 1954).
- Galantamine is [4aS-(4a ⁇ , 6 ⁇ , 8aR*)]-4a, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12-hexahydro-3-methoxy-11-methyl-6H-benzofuro[3a, 3, 2-ef][2]benzazepin-6-ol; both the base compound and its hydrobromide are laevorotatory.
- Galantamine is a well-known acetylcholinesterase inhibitor which is active at nicotinic receptor sites but not on muscarinic receptor sites. It is capable of passing the blood-brain barrier in humans, and presents no severe side effects in therapeutically effective dosages.
- Galantamine has been used extensively as a curare reversal agent in anaesthetic practice in Eastern bloc countries (cf. review by Paskow, 1986) and also experimentally in the West (cf. Bretagne and Valetta, 1965: Wislicki, 1967; Consanitis, 1971).
- Galantamine has been marketed by Waldheim (Sanochemia protagonist) as NivalinTM in Germany and Austria since the 1970s for indications such as facial neuralgia.
- WO-97/47304 discloses fast-dissolving or immediate release tablets of galantamine prepared by direct compression. These and other art-known immediate release tablets are administered twice (b.i.d.) or thrice (t.i.d.) daily with an interval of 8 hours. The plasma levels of the active ingredient typically raise sharply (early T max and relatively high C max ) and decline rapidly (deep trough after about 6 to 8 hours).
- C max peak values
- optimum efficacy is expected when effective plasma levels are maintained during daytime; during nighttime galantamine plasma levels probably may be lower.
- sleep disordered breathing such as snoring and apnoea (WO-97/22339)
- a pharmaceutical dosage form that has to be administered once daily only and yields effective plasma levels for eight hours (nighttime) to 16 hours (daytime) would be highly desirable.
- the present invention relates to a controlled release formulation containing galantamine as the active ingredient, characterized in that it comprises particles comprising galantamine or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof, a water soluble pharmaceutically acceptable excipient and optionally other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, said particles being coated by a release rate controlling membrane coating.
- Dosage forms comprising a therapeutically effective amount of said controlled release formulations can be administered orally to a patient once daily.
- part of the galantamine is present in an immediate release form, for example, as particles lacking a release rate controlling membrane coating, or as immediate release minitablets, or as as a topcoat on the controlled release formulation.
- the formulations according to the present invention comprise galantamine in the form of galantamine hydrobromide (1:1).
- the water soluble excipient can conveniently be a film forming polymer.
- Useful water soluble film forming polymers are polymers that have an apparent viscosity of 1 to 100 mPa.s when dissolved in a 2% aqueous solution at 20° C. solution.
- the water soluble polymer can be selected from the group comprising
- Preferred water-soluble polymers are for example hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (Methocel®, Pharmacoat®, polymethacrylate (Eudragit E®), hydroxypropylcellulose (Klucel®, or a polyvidone.
- Especially preferred water-soluble polymers are hydroxypropyl methylcelluloses or HPMC.
- Said HPMC contains sufficient hydroxypropyl and methoxy groups to render it water-soluble.
- HPMC having a methoxy degree of substitution from about 0.8 to about 2.5 and a hydroxypropyl molar substitution from about 0.05 to about 3.0 are generally water-soluble.
- Methoxy degree of substitution refers to the average number of methyl ether groups present per anhydroglucose unit of the cellulose molecule.
- Hydroxypropyl molar substitution refers to the average number of moles of propylene oxide which have reacted with each anhydroglucose unit of the cellulose molecule.
- Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is the United States Adopted Name for hypromellose (see Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 29th edition, page 1435).
- hydroxypropyl methylcellulose with low viscosity i.e. about 5 mPa.s
- hydroxypropyl methylcellulose 2910 5 mPa.s is used, e.g. hydroxypropyl methylcellulose 2910 5 mPa.s.
- the first two digits represent the approximate percentage of methoxyl groups and the third and fourth digits the approximate percentage composition of hydroxypropoxyl groups.
- 5 mPa.s is a value indicative of the apparent viscosity of a 2% aqueous solution at 20° C.
- Suitable HPMC include those having a viscosity from about 1 to about 100 mPa.s, in particular form about 3 to about 15 mPa.s, preferably about 5 mPa.s
- the most preferred type of HPMC having a viscosity of 5 mPa.s. is the commercially available HPMC 2910 5 mPa.s.
- An equally preferred type of HPMC is admixed with polyethylene glycol 400, commercially available from Colorcon (UK) as OpadryTM OY-7240 clear.
- the weight-by-weight ratio of drug:polymer is in the range of 17:1 to 1:5, preferably 10:1 to 1:3.
- said ratio may range from about 10:1 to about 1:3, and optimally is from 7:1 to 1:2.
- the weight-by-weight ratio of galantamine.HBr to other water-soluble polymers may be determined by a person skilled in the art by straightforward experimentation. The lower limit is determined by practical considerations.
- the present invention is concerned with particles which comprise (a) a central, rounded or spherical core, (b) a layer or a coating film of a water-soluble polymer and galantamine hydrobromide (1:1), (c) optionally a seal-coating polymer layer and (d) a release rate controlling membrane coating.
- the core has a diameter of about 250 to about 1,180 ⁇ m (16–60 mesh), preferably of about 600 to about 1,180 ⁇ m (16–30 mesh).
- Pellets, beads or cores of the dimensions mentioned herein can be obtained by sieving through nominal standard test sieves as described in the CRC Handbook, 64th ed., page F-114.
- Nominal standard sieves are characterized by the mesh/hole width ( ⁇ m), DIN 4188 (mm), ASTM E 11-70 (No), Tyler® (mesh) or BS 410 (mesh) standard values.
- particle sizes are designated by reference to the mesh/hole width in ⁇ m and to the corresponding Sieve No in the ASTM E11-70 standard.
- Materials suitable for use as cores in the particles according to the present invention are manifold, provided that said materials are pharmaceutically acceptable and have appropriate dimensions (about 16–60 mesh) and firmness.
- materials are polymers e.g. plastic resins; inorganic substances, e.g. silica, glass, hydroxyapatite, salts (sodium or potassium chloride, calcium or magnesium carbonate) and the like; organic substances, e.g. activated carbon, acids (citric, fumaric, tartaric, ascorbic and the like acids), and saccharides and derivatives thereof.
- saccharides such as sugars, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides and their derivatives, for example, glucose, rhamnose, galactose, lactose, sucrose, mannitol, sorbitol, dextrin, maltodextrin, cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, starches (maize, rice, potato, wheat, tapioca) and the like saccharides.
- a particularly preferred material suitable for use as cores in the particles according to the present invention is represented by 16–60 mesh sugar spheres (USP 22/NF X VII, p. 1989) which consist of 62.5%–91.5% (w/w) sucrose, the remainder being starch and possibly also dextrines, and which are pharmaceutically inert or neutral. Consequently, these cores are also known in the art as neutral pellets.
- the water-soluble polymer and galantamine are herein said to form either a layer (ratio >10:1) or a coat or coating film (ratio ⁇ 10:1).
- suitable particles comprising glantamine may also be formed by granules or by spheroids (spherical granules) prepared according to art-known methods of granulation and spheronization.
- the release rate controlling membrane coating comprises a water insoluble polymer and optionally a plasticizer.
- Said polymer is ethylcellulosee and the plasticizer is selected from the group comprising dibutyl sebacate, diethyl phthalate and triethyl citrate. It is useful to modify the properties of the water-insoluble polymer by the addition of particular amounts of a water-soluble polymer as described hereinbefore, preferably HPMC. The addition of the water-soluble polymer is especially useful to increase the onset of action.
- the ratio ethylcellulose:HPMC can vary from 100:0 to about 70:30, in particular from about 80:20 to about 72.5–27.5, more in particular from about 75:25 to about 72.5:27:5.
- the release rate controlling membrane coating may be applied to the drug coated cores in an aqueous dispersion (AquacoatTM, SureleaseTM), or as a solution in an organic solvent system.
- a useful organic system comprises an alcohol, e.g. methanol or ethanol, and optionally a chlorinated hydrocarbon such as for example dichloromethane.
- the weight of the release rate controlling membrane coating ranges from 3% to 15% of the uncoated particle, in particular from about 4% to about 12%.
- the rate of release of the active ingredient from the particles is approximately inversely proportional with the thickness of the release rate controlling membrane coating.
- a seal coat lies optionally between the drug core and the release rate controlling membrane coating.
- the seal coating polymer layer is applied to the drug coated cores to prevent sticking of the particles during the process and to prevent migration of the drug into the the release rate controlling membrane.
- a thin layer of HPMC 2910 5 mPa.s and polyethylene glycol (PEG), in particular polyethylene glycol 400 is used as a seal coating polymer layer.
- the particles according to the present invention may further contain various additives such as thickening agents, lubricants, surfactants, preservatives, complexing and chelating agents, electrolytes or other active ingredients.
- the particles can be filled in hard-gelatin capsules such that a therapeutically effective amount of, for example, 8 to 32 mg of the active ingredient is available per dosage form.
- An advantageous pharmacokinetic profile profile (fast onset, level peak and trough values) is obtained when from 70 to 80% of the galantamine is comprised within the controlled release particles and the remaining 20 to 30% of the galantamine is comprised in an immediate release form, preferably the controlled releases particle amount to 75% of the galantamine and the immediate release form to 25%.
- the dosage forms may be filled with particles that release the active ingredient at different rates, at least one kind that releases the active ingredient slowly, and at least one kind that releases the active ingredient more rapidly, in particular one kind that releases the active ingredient immediately, e.g. particles as described that lack the release rate controlling membrane.
- the different particles may be filled consecutively in the capsules, or they may be premixed and the thus obtained premix may be filled into the capsules (taking into account possible segregation).
- controlled release particles of the present invention may further comprise a top-coat of a water-soluble polymer as described hereinbefore and galantamine which is released practically immediately upon ingestion and thus ensures a rapid onset of action.
- Another alternative solution for providing a dosage form with a pharmacokinetic profile as outlined, namely with a fast onset, level peak and trough values comprises filling a capsule with controlled release particles as described hereinbefore (70 to 80%, preferably 75% of the galantamine dose) together with one or more minitablets which comprise the remaining 20 to 30%, preferably 25% of galantamine.
- Suitable immediate release tablet formulations of galantamine have been described previously in WO-97/47304.
- the present invention also relates to processes of preparing formulations as described hereinbefore comprising admixing galantamine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt form thereof with a water soluble excipient to form a drug core, optionally applying a seal coat to the drug core, and thereafter applying the release rate controlling membrane coating.
- a drug coating solution is prepared by dissolving into a suitable solvent system appropriate amounts of galantamine.HBr and a water-soluble polymer.
- a suitable solvent system comprises purified water or an alcohol, preferably ethanol which may be denatured, for example, with butanone.
- the amounts of solids, i.e. galantamine.HBr and water-soluble polymer, in the drug coating solution may range from 10 to 30% (w/w) and preferably is about 25%.
- the solution is preferably stirred during the coating process.
- the drug coating process (on an industrial scale) is conveniently conducted in a fluidized bed granulator (e.g. Glatt type WSG-30 or GPCG-30) equipped with a Wurster bottom spray insert (e.g. an 18 inch Wurster insert).
- a fluidized bed granulator e.g. Glatt type WSG-30 or GPCG-30
- a Wurster bottom spray insert e.g. an 18 inch Wurster insert.
- Laboratory scale process development can be performed on a Glatt type WSG-1 with a 6 inch Wurster bottom insert. Obviously the process parameters depend on the equipment used.
- the spraying rate should be regulated carefully. Too low a spraying rate can cause some spray drying of the drug coating solution and result in a loss of product. Too high a spraying rate will cause overwetting with subsequent agglomeration. Agglomeration being the most serious problem, lower spraying rates may be used initially, to be increased as the coating process proceeds and the particles grow larger.
- the atomizing air pressure with which the drug coating solution is applied also influences the coating performance.
- Low atomizing air pressure results in the formation of larger droplets and an increased tendency toward agglomeration.
- High atomizing air pressure could conceivably carry the risk of spray drying the drug solution, but this was found not to be a problem. Consequently, atomizing air pressure may be set at nearly maximum levels.
- Fluidizing air volume can be monitored by operating the exhaust air-valve of the apparatus and should be set in such a manner that optimum pellet circulation is obtained. Too low an air volume will cause insufficient fluidization of the pellets; too high an air volume will interfere with the pellet circulation due to countercurrent air streams developing in the apparatus. In the present process optimum conditions were obtained by opening the exhaust air valve to about 50% of its maximum and gradually increasing the opening thereof to about 60% of the maximum as the coating process proceeded.
- the coating process is advantageously conducted by employing an inlet-air temperature ranging from about 50° C. to about 55° C. Higher temperatures may speed up the process but have the disadvantage that solvent evaporation is so rapid that the coating liquid is not spread uniformly on the surface of the pellets resulting in the formation of a drug coating layer with high porosity. As the bulk volume of the coated pellets increases, drug dissolution may decrease significantly to unacceptable levels. Obviously, the optimum process temperature will further depend on the equipment used, the nature of the core, the batch volume, the solvent and the spraying rate.
- the pellets can conveniently be dried in any suitable drying apparatus.
- Good results may be obtained using a vacuum tumbler-drier operated at a temperature from about 60° C. to about 90° C., preferably about 80° C., a reduced pressure ranging from about 150–400 mbar (15–40 kPa), preferably 200–300 mbar (20–30 kPa), for at least 24 hours, preferably about 36 hours.
- the vacuum tumbler-drier is conveniently rotated at its minimum speed, e.g. 2 to 3 rpm. After drying, the drug coated cores may be sieved.
- the seal coat layer is applied to the drug coated cores in the fluidized bed granulator with Wurster bottom spray insert or in a powder coater.
- the seal coating solution can be prepared by dissolving an appropriate amount of a seal coating polymer into a suitable solvent system.
- a suitable solvent system is, e.g. purified water or an alcohol, preferably ethanol which may be denatured with, for example, butanone.
- the amount of seal coating polymer in the seal coating spraying solution may range from 5 to 10% (w/w) and preferably is about 6.6%.
- the seal coating spraying solution is advantageously stirred during the seal coating process. Appropriate conditions are described in more detail in the example hereinafter.
- a further drying step may be required after applying the seal coating polymer layer. Excess solvents could easily be removed while operating the apparatus at the parameter settings used for about 5 to 15 minutes after the spraying had been completed.
- the release rate controlling membrane coating polymer layer is applied to the drug (or seal) coated cores in a fluidized bed granulator with Wurster bottom spray insert.
- the release rate controlling membrane coating suspension or solution can be prepared by suspending or dissolving an appropriate amount of a release rate controlling membrane coating polymer into a suitable solvent system.
- a suitable solvent system is, e.g. purified water or an alcohol, preferably ethanol which may be denatured with, for example, butanone, dichloromethane which may be admixed with an alcohol, preferably methanol or ethanol.
- the amount of release rate controlling membrane coating polymer in the spraying suspension or solution may range from 5 to 40% (w/w) and preferably is about 30%.
- the release rate controlling membrane coating spraying suspension or solution is advantageously stirred during the spraying process.
- the parameter setting for conducting this last step is essentially similar to that used in the previous coating processes. Appropriate conditions are described in more detail in the example hereinafter.
- All coating processes are preferably conducted under an inert atmosphere of e.g. nitrogen.
- the coating equipment should preferably be grounded and provided with an appropriate solvent recovery system containing an efficient condensing system.
- the particles may be filled in hard-gelatin capsules using standard automatic capsule filling machines. Suitable earthing and de-ionisation equipment can advantageously prevent development of electrostatic charges.
- Capsule filling speed may influence weight distribution and should be monitored. Good results are obtained when operating the equipment at about 75% to 85% of the maximum speed and in many cases when operating at full speed.
- Dosage forms according to the present invention having an advantageous pharmacokinetic profile as outlined, namely a fast onset and level peak and trough values, are capable of releasing in 500 ml USP buffer (pH 6.8) at 37° C. in an Apparatus 2 (USP 23, ⁇ 711> Dissolution, pp 1791–1793, paddle, 50 rpm) from 20 to 40% of the total amount of galantamine.HBr in 1 hour, and more than 80% of the total amount of galantamine.HBr in 10 hours.
